Hope you\u2019re doing well. \u00a0I was just wondering if you could post a link to my new website:<\/p>\n

www.thomism.org<\/a><\/p>\n

(yep, I own thomism.org<\/a> somehow)<\/p>\n

So, far there\u2019s only one page on it so far but a good one (the homepage automatically will redirect to: http:\/\/www.thomism.org\/atheism\/atheist_logic.html<\/a>), namely a long list of \u201csyllogisms\u201d I\u2019ve written that make fun of typical atheist arguments. \u00a0It\u2019s the opposite of what some atheists (namely \u201cGodless Geeks\u201d) did to theistic arguments (http:\/\/www.godlessgeeks.com\/LINKS\/GodProof.htm<\/a>). \u00a0I think it shall not fail to amuse.<\/p>\n

Much appreciated. \u00a0God bless.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Julian, like all the rest of the Ahlquist clan, never fails to delight, educate and amuse.\u00a0 My hope is that the dude who writes the WWJTD blog here on Patheos (who seems to\u00a0have a somewhat stalkerish fascination with my blog) will take his herd of independent minds who all affirm each other in their\u00a0okayness by denouncing me and head on over to Julian\u2019s, where they can have the novel experience of seeing someone using his intellect and\u00a0not merely worshipping\u00a0it (as they habitually do).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
